Although generally it's not a good idea to deviate from Maven conventions, you can use outputDirectory parameter in maven-jar-plugin to specify a directory other than ${project.build.directory}

<project>
  ...
  <build>
    <plugins>
      ...
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.1.0</version>
        <configuration>
          <outputDirectory>path/to/your/folder</outputDirectory>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
      ...
    </plugins>
  </build>
  ...
</project>
